Re: [gentoo-user] Databases - which one

[Mike Roest]

Mysql with a InnoDB table backend is much better in those respects.  It 
enforces foreign key constraints, has a transaction log so if the server 
 dies in the middle of a transaction it can rollback or forward.  Quite 
nice actually, it is a little more of a pain to setup as there are some 
additional my.cnf directives that need to be added. Compiling the 
support in is pretty easy USE="innodb" emerge mysql.

Thanks.  I had considered MySQL but it doesn't have (at the last time I 
checked) some of the features of databases like DB2, Sybase, etc. in the 
area of data integrity, etc. I want to have the features of those 
databases.
